Large silver Buddha casting note with a total height of 8.8 meters

In July 2007, Jing'an Temple Huiming Daheshang and his party visited our company and discussed with the company's chairman Chen Zong the idea of casting silver Buddha.
 

At the end of 2007, when the incense burner, bronze bell and a high-grade 10.23-meter white copper “Fuhui Baoding” that had cooperated with our company arrived at the installation site, the appearance of the refined atmosphere was particularly eye-catching. The casting process was highly recognized by Huiming Dahe and all parties. The work of Silver Buddha Casting is also officially launched...

At the beginning of May 2008, it was designed by the abbot of Jing’an Temple, Mr. Hui Ming, and specially hired Taiwan’s famous Buddha-making master Cai Huili to produce the silver Buddha plaster model (after five years of careful revision). In order to smoothly cast this unprecedented silver Buddha, the company has made all kinds of meticulous preparations, invited experts and craft masters to discuss and discuss the final plan.

Firstly, according to the predetermined plan, a bronze statue of a bronze statue of the same class was successfully cast, which is equivalent to a preview of the silver Buddha. The Buddha body was once cast in one piece, and such a large-scale Buddha image was verified by the technique of one-time integral casting. Very successful!

At the same time, the various steps of the silver Buddha casting in the early stage were also promoted in an orderly manner. Especially in the process of repairing the wax mold, it is fine. On September 19, 2009, a 15 ton silver Buddha casting ceremony was held. Huiming Dahe led the Shanghai Xinzhong, China foundry industry experts and craft masters to attend the event. This is an unprecedented "magnificent" scene, the four melting pots fire at the same time, one by one spit out a cheerful flame. A cylindrical silver ingot escorted by security personnel filled the circumference of the furnace. Four lifting cranes are on standby...

On September 19, 2009, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Hui Mingda monk led the public and the layman to hold a sprinkling ceremony; 11:40 casting went smoothly - the whole process was very satisfactory. Perhaps there is a blessing of the Master, Buddha bless it. Amitabha! Good! Good!

In the following two months, a series of surface treatments such as sand cleaning, refurbishing, welding, grinding, and polishing were carried out.

Early December 2009. After the baptism of "bathing fire" and "tempering", the silver Buddha solemnly "reborn". On December 17, 2009, after careful packaging and careful planning of safe transportation routes, the company formed a special team to embark on a trip to the Jing’an Temple in Shanghai.

 

On the morning of May 20th, 2010, Jing’an Temple held a ceremony to celebrate the opening ceremony of the Silver Buddha. The Buddha statue of 15 tons and 8.8 meters high was respected. The Daxiong Hall in the Jing’an Temple imitation of the Song Dynasty was shining!

At this point, this statue has been designed by the abbot of Jing'an Temple, Hui Ming, since 2004. It is specially designed by Taiwan's famous Buddha-making master Cai Huili as the silver Buddha of the designer. After more than five years, the merits are fulfilled.

The large silver Buddha casting project with a total height of 8.8 meters touched the hearts of the four parties. It is not only a Buddha statue that is worshipped by people, but also a solemn Buddha statue. It will also be a treasure of a temple that has been passed down for thousands of years. Its cultural connotation is self-evident. This is a flourishing age in the history of art casting, an extraordinary casting story, history will be remembered!
